A seated man in a saffron-orange sleeveless garment and a beaded rudraksha-style mala sits on an orange cloth at a satsang hall, with hands and attention focused on a large stainless steel bowl and small steel vessels before him. Behind him, a man in white with a sacred marking on the forehead sits with palms joined, and several women in white and yellow sit with palms pressed together in prayer on orange mats. A water bottle, green leaves and a patterned blue cloth with the printed word Dhyanapeetam are visible. The scene suggests a ritual or devotional gathering in a hall with a stage and microphone stands.
